The Jeremy Boreing Show

Dallas Jenkins, creator and director of The Chosen, sits down with Jeremy Boreing one week after stepping off the set for the final time — 528 days of production over eight years. The two friends first met in Los Angeles more than a decade ago, before The Chosen or The Daily Wire existed. Now they talk about failure, surrender, ambition, and what it really costs to make art for an audience of millions. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Before The Chosen became a global phenomenon, Dallas was a director who didn't want to be called a "Christian filmmaker." He tells the story of The Resurrection of Gavin Stone — a film backed by Blumhouse and WWE Studios that tested well and then bombed on opening weekend — and the night that changed everything: a 15-page memo written until 4 a.m. and a Facebook message from a near-stranger in Romania: "Your job is not to feed the 5,000. It's only to provide the loaves and fish." That line became the name of his company, 5&2 Studios. Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 From there, Dallas walks through the unlikely origin of The Chosen: a short film shot behind a barn in Illinois, a crowdfunding campaign he expected to fail, and the COVID-era decision to give the show away for free. The two get into why neither man believes he "works for" the audience, how a council of biblical scholars, a Messianic Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic priest shape the show, and why success can be a spiritual danger. They also cover Christian ambition and narcissism, Dallas's 15-year pursuit of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and why online criticism no longer drives his decisions. And then the hardest question: after a decade of building Christian and conservative media, has any of it made a positive dent in the culture? Dallas also previews what's next: The Chosen Season 6 arriving in late 2026, Season 7 and a resurrection feature film planned for 2028, the Joseph of Egypt series with Prime Video, a three-season Moses series in development, and another greenlit project he can't announce yet. Along the way, Jeremy shares lessons from his own journey and the two remember the late Andrew Breitbart, who believed in both of them before anyone else did. Whether you've watched every episode of The Chosen or you're a creator wrestling with ambition, failure, and faith, this is a candid look at what it means to bring your loaves and fish — and leave the multiplication to God.

Where do the Jews belong? This summer, Jordan Peterson posted a simple reminder about the term "Judeo-Christian": the Ten Commandments are Jewish, the great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish, and Christ Himself was a Jew. Parts of the online right pushed back immediately — Dale Partridge insisted the Old Testament isn't Jewish, Jack Posobiec said this isn't what Christians believe. It looked like a debate about theological vocabulary. It pointed to something much older and much darker. In this monologue, Jeremy traces the return of the so-called Jewish Question, the "JQ" — from Britain's 1753 Jewish Naturalization Act, through 19th-century racialized antisemitism and Hitler's "Final Solution," to the algorithm-driven online spaces where a generation of young Americans came of age during COVID lockdowns. At the center is what Jeremy calls the Nowhere Doctrine: five doors — the Old Testament, the New Testament, America, Europe, and Israel — that antisemites on the left, the right, and in Hamas are trying to close on the Jewish people. Jeremy responds directly to claims from Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Dale Partridge, and closes with a word to young Christians from Romans 11: "It is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you." This episode discusses antisemitism, the Holocaust, and terrorism for the purpose of education and rebuttal. Quoted claims are presented in order to refute them. ►Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ ►Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Chapters: (00:00:00) "Christ Himself Was a Jew" (00:04:50) Young Evangelicals, COVID & the Algorithm (00:08:55) Door 1: The Old Testament (00:14:12) Door 2: The New Testament (00:19:44) Door 3: America (00:24:04) Heritage Americans, "Unassimilable" & Stalin (00:27:36) Doors 4 & 5: Europe, Israel & Tucker's DNA Test (00:31:34) The Nowhere Doctrine & the Khazar Myth (00:33:57) Holocaust Revisionism, Hamas & "From the River to the Sea" (00:39:12) The Root That Supports You Learn more about your ad choices.

He wrote for Tucker Carlson. He was Charlie Kirk's producer. He was standing 20 feet from Charlie Kirk at UVU when he was assassinated. Now, he's breaking his silence. Blake Neff sits down to talk about what actually happened in Charlie's final days, why he believes Candace Owens knows exactly who killed his friend, and how Tucker Carlson went from mentor to someone Blake says is enabling the worst conspiracy theories in modern conservative media. Neff walks through the private phone call with a rabbi that conspiracy theorists have twisted into "proof" of a cover-up, the text messages Candace Owens misread as a death threat, the overwhelming evidence against Tyler Robinson, and the "Daddy's Home" Shabbat tradition Candace mocked even after being shown it was real. He also opens up about his own 2020 cancellation from Fox News and why he thinks conservative leaders have a moral obligation to call out lies inside their own coalition — even when it costs them relationships.

Is AI going to kill us all by the end of the decade? A former Anthropic researcher thinks so, and his viral thread has 172 million views. Elon Musk thinks it's a setup. Anthropic's own CEO is calling for government regulation. And President Trump says the whole thing is a hoax cooked up by China to slow us down. Jeremy is joined by retired Army Colonel and trial lawyer Kurt Schlichter, rapper and Oxford-trained computer scientist Zuby, and theologian Nathan Finochio to sort through the AI panic — and to figure out whether regulatory capture, not extinction risk, is the real story here. From there the conversation opens up into everything from the death of rock and roll under Obama, to why the West has stopped believing it has a mission the way Israel, Russia, and China do, to the making of The Pendragon Cycle and why beauty, color, and aspiration still matter in art. Plus: the growing political gender gap between young men and women, why shame culture might be worth bringing back, and what it actually means to be a good man in a culture that keeps telling you not to try. ► Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ ► Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Chapters: (00:00:00) AI Doomsday Panic & Regulatory Capture (00:16:43) AI as Gnostic "Secret Knowledge" (00:27:38) AI, Art & the Coming War With Machines (00:49:04) Feminization & the Consensus Society (00:59:29) Obama's Legacy & Kurt's War Department Controversy (01:15:33) The Pendragon Cycle: Rejecting Nihilism (01:37:31) Every Civilization Has a Mission Except the West (02:03:17) Sydney Sweeney, Modesty & Beauty Standards (02:13:17) Diversity, Meritocracy & Closing Learn more about your ad choices.

China's central bank just bought more gold in a single month than it has in nearly three years — its 22nd consecutive month of buying, at record prices. They're not doing it because gold is cheap. They're doing it because they've made a decision about what the next hundred years looks like. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Do we act like a civilization that plans to be here in twenty years? Or are we living through our own version of Rome's slow fade? Jeremy Boreing sits down with three guests who take that question seriously: historian Jeremy Ryan Slate (host of The Roman Pattern), Oxford classicist Spencer Klavan (host of Young Heretics, author of "How to Save the West"), and Daily Wire columnist Stephen Kent (co-founder of Geeky Stoics, author of the upcoming "Great Escape"). Was Rome saved by Christianity, or by Constantine's gold standard? Is Stoicism a ladder toward meaning or a ceiling under it?

Friday LIVE guests: Michael Knowles, Josh Herr, Dr. Simone Gold For five years, the conservative movement has been right about COVID — about the schools, the mandates, the lab-leak question, the censorship. But being right was never enough. This week, the receipts finally arrived. Anthony Fauci sat before the Senate Homeland Security Committee and invoked his Fifth Amendment right 111 times, declining to answer a single question about the origins of the pandemic. Days earlier, Senator Rand Paul released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci's private diary. In it, Fauci took personal credit for persuading New York and California to close their schools — the same closures he spent years publicly insisting he had "nothing to do with." The private record and the public statements do not match. And under oath, with the chance to explain, he said nothing. This panel goes through what actually dropped: the Proximal Origin Slack messages, in which the scientists who publicly declared a lab origin implausible privately put the odds far higher; the NIH keyword filters used to erase public comments about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, ivermectin, and the vaccines; the record-destruction requests; the celebrity diary entries; and the taxpayer-funded campaign to win Fauci a million dollars in cash prizes. There is a growing faction that believes its only job is to tell you how bad things are — to confirm, week after week, that the people running your institutions lied to you. They're often right. And they make a fortune being right while changing nothing. You only win by winning. The vaccine mandate didn't die because people were angry about it. It died because a handful of organizations stopped complaining and fought back — in court, through the institutions we already have. When the Biden administration ordered every employer with 100+ employees to enforce the mandate, The Daily Wire sued, and the challenge reached the Supreme Court as NFIB v. OSHA. In January 2022, the Court struck the mandate down 6-3, and it died. The mandate rested on the claim that vaccination stopped transmission — now universally conceded to have been wrong — and the legal case was won before that concession existed. Michael Knowles (host of The Michael Knowles Show, author of Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds) was one of the earliest and most consistent voices on COVID censorship; the NIH filter documents are the institutional confirmation of the argument he was making in 2020. Josh Herr, former General Counsel of The Daily Wire, ran the legal strategy that beat the mandate at the Supreme Court and breaks down what a presidential pardon does and doesn't cover. Dr. Simone Gold — physician, attorney, founder of America's Frontline Doctors, and author of I Do Not Consent — organized the 2020 White Coat Summit and was deplatformed within a day. We cover the Fifth Amendment and the pardon, the coming contempt vote, and whether real accountability is still possible. 00:00:00 – Fauci Pleads the Fifth 111 Times 00:02:59 – Meet the Panel & the Mandate Lawsuit 00:06:14 – Fauci's Diary and Alleged Perjury 00:13:54 – How the Diary Surfaced & Fauci's Real Motives 00:19:46 – Fauci's AIDS-Era Playbook & Loving Humanity in the Abstract 00:24:38 – Presidential Pardons: A History of Abuse 00:32:31 – When Fauci Became a God & Science Without Philosophy 00:38:13 – Doctors, Transgender Medicine, and Lost Moral Foundations 00:58:13 – Science Is a Tool, Not the Truth 01:06:11 – Universities, Institutions, and Why We Need Them 01:19:50 – Rebuilding Trust: Family, Flags, and Agency 01:24:59 – Will Fauci Face Justice?

Captain Barry "Butch" Wilmore has spent 464 days in space — 278 of them unexpected. When the Boeing Starliner he was flight-testing began losing thrusters on its approach to the International Space Station, a mission planned for roughly a week turned into a nine-and-a-half-month stay in orbit and a return to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. In this feature-length conversation, Jeremy Boreing sits down with the retired NASA astronaut and U.S. Navy test pilot to talk about fear, faith, family, and what it actually takes to keep your head when the machine you're strapped into starts to fail. Wilmore's story runs from the hollers of Mount Juliet, Tennessee — where a mischievous Baptist kid was shaped by his parents, his coaches, and a biblical foundation — to the deck of an aircraft carrier, where he logged 663 landings (226 of them at night) and flew the A-7 and the F/A-18 Hornet in combat during the first Gulf War. He walks Jeremy through what it's like to dodge a missile at night with almost no depth perception, how a naval aviator learns to master terror, and why he insists that fear is an opponent, never an ally. He is one of only two people in history to fly five different spacecraft — the Space Shuttle, Soyuz, the ISS, Starliner, and Dragon — and the road there included a nine-and-a-half-year wait after the Columbia tragedy set his astronaut class back years. The heart of the episode is the Starliner mission. As commander on the spacecraft's first crewed flight, Wilmore watched four of his eight aft-firing thrusters drop offline — then a fifth — losing a full degree of control for the first time in the history of human spaceflight. He describes canceling the software that would have shut the failing thrusters down, flying manually toward the station, and knowing before he ever docked that he and fellow astronaut Sunny Williams would not be coming home on that ship. What makes this more than a space story is Wilmore's refusal to call himself "stranded." Drawing on the Apostle Paul's contentment in shipwreck and prison, he explains how he stayed at peace living out of a sleeping bag in a Japanese laboratory module, eating food other astronauts had set aside as trash, with no fixed date to come home. Jeremy and Butch go deep on the sovereignty of God, the difference between freedom and law, John Adams' warning that the Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, and why the gospel — not raw human agency — sits at the center of it all. They also take on the American space program itself: why politics now sits upstream of engineering, how bringing Russia into the International Space Station shaped its 51.6-degree orbit and limited its usefulness for reaching deeper into the solar system, and why Wilmore has become a fierce advocate for keeping manual control in every crewed spacecraft. Finally, the conversation turns to a generation. Jeremy and Butch talk about Gen Z, the formative years COVID took from young people, and the case for hope over despair — the conviction, as Jeremy puts it, that you can step forward in faith and watch the ground appear beneath your feet. Wilmore closes on his Tennessee roots, the governor's race a residency statute took off the table, and where he believes the Lord may lead him next. This is a conversation about courage and precision, marriage and fidelity, patriotism and providence — and about a country Wilmore still calls the land of opportunity.

Is Britain still a free country? Jeremy Boreing sits down with Andrew Gold — journalist, former BBC documentary maker, and host of the Heretics podcast — for a wide-ranging conversation about what Gold sees as the unraveling of Britain, and why he believes Americans are watching a preview of their own future. Gold argues the UK is facing a "multi-pronged attack on liberalism": a government growing more draconian, the rapid Islamification of major cities like Birmingham, and the collapse of the free-speech culture Britain once shared with the United States. Jeremy and Andrew open with proposed legislation that would force YouTube and other platforms to prioritize state-adjacent outlets like the BBC and Channel 4 over independent media — a move Gold calls "anti-social media" and warns could push Britain closer to North Korea and Russia than to America. From there the two trace nearly every fault line in modern British life. Gold tells the story of being pushed off camera at the BBC — informed, he says, that a white man could no longer host the documentaries he'd spent years researching. They examine why so many in the West embrace what some call "suicidal empathy," and Gold makes the case that it isn't empathy at all but narcissism and status-seeking, drawing on Will Storr's "The Status Game." The conversation turns to the grooming gang scandal and the scale of abuse alleged in Rupert Lowe's report, the decades-long institutional cover-up, whistleblower Maggie Oliver, and how Tommy Robinson became, in Gold's telling, a national villain treated as "worse than Hitler" for raising the alarm. They contrast the 31-month sentence handed to Lucy Connolly over a since-deleted Facebook post with far lighter treatment of other offenders — the "two-tier justice" many Britons now believe defines the country — against the backdrop of the Southport attack and the killer Axel Rudakubana. Jeremy and Andrew then take on democracy itself: whether voters can actually stop mass immigration when the outcomes they vote for keep getting overridden, from Brexit to California's Proposition 8. Gold explains David Goodhart's "anywhere versus somewhere" framework — the rootless elite who can live anywhere versus the rooted citizens who bear the cost of rapid change — and why cousin marriage, tribal voting blocs, and the welfare state make assimilation so difficult. Jeremy makes a provocative argument of his own: that mass migration is, in a sense, worse than colonialism — importing the least successful systems in the world into the most successful, rather than the reverse. The two debate the "creedal nation," whether America's founding proposition still binds newcomers, and what it means that so many arrivals are never actually asked to embrace the culture, the creed, or the country. Finally, they turn to faith and the monarchy: King Charles recasting himself as a defender of many faiths rather than the Christian faith, the singular dignity of Queen Elizabeth II, and whether Britain has forgotten that it is a Christian country. Gold ends on a fragile note of hope — Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, and Kemi Badenoch — and whether a fractured right can unite before 2029. An unflinching conversation about immigration, Islam, free speech, nationalism, and the survival of Western civilization — and a warning, from someone living inside it, about where America may be headed.
